can Thermaltake Xaser III's temperature monitor be recalibrated by Andrew Crook
can Thermaltake Xaser III's temperature monitor be recalibrated, because its a few degrees out, when compared to the sensors on my motherboard (mobo=47 Thermaltake=50). I know that MAX and MIN temps can be changed, but I wondered if there was a POT on its PCB to calibrate the temperature reading...

Where to find a small AT case by Anthony
Hello, I'm looking for a small AT computer chassis. All that's going inside is a baby AT motherboard (with onboard video), a PCI sound card, a hard drive, and a power supply. If I could find a _really_ small case, I might even switch to a USB sound card, if that would allow everything else to...

I'm not really sure where to post this, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction if there is a better place. I have a pair of Yamaha YST-M10 speakers that occasionally start buzzing loudly. It's a deep, loud sound. It is provoked when I have the volume turned up loud...

Several different cards that are known to be good fail to be detected in that one slot. Is there some component that's easy to test and replace---maybe a capacitor---whose...

New hard drive woes! by zophas
I just bought a new 40GB hard drive (Western Digital) installed it and ran FDISK on it to set it up as one 20GB and two 10GB drives. After FDISK had finished with no apparent errors, I found that I only had two assigned drives C: (20GB) and D: (10GB). So I tried running FDISK to go back and repair...

Asus A7V8X problems by D
Could be power supply. Does the PS fan spin? Also, for around $13.00 you can pickup an ATX PS tester. Also, if you are handy with a multimeter, you can test the 12v, 5v, and 3.3v lines. I would definately eliminate the PS as the source of your problem before moving on to the motherboard. Hope...

PCLINCS.CO.UK - BEWARE ! by Adrian
Looking at their return policy: http://www.pclincs.co.uk/Returns.htm I see they charge that ridiculous 15% restocking. To make it worse, they charge 8 pounds to test a product that the customer says is faulty, if it tests OK! Plus you have to pay them to ship it back to you! Fees, fees and...

exhaust fan question for newbie by w_tom
Only two parameters you are concerned about: CFM and deciBells of sound. Those watts tell about as much as CFM does not a CPU heatsink fan - nothing useful. Steven Campbell wrote: I removed a Y.S.Tech 1.92w fan that was being used as an exhaust and replaced it with a "silent" Y.S.Tech 0.84w...

acoustic foam by Rocketman
Is there anything special about the acoustic foam used in computer cases for dampening noise? Can I use any sound proofing foam found in car stereo supply stores or Home Depot? I found some at my local CompUSA for $20 (I think 4 sheets: 2 17x15in and 2 17x7in). Anyone tried them?
